If I wanted to lower the rear I would cast a mold of part of the bumper, the mold would also have flanges that go in like ] then I would cast a part from the 2-3 inch tall mold. Cut the bumper on its like and insert the new part. Bond them, fill, sand, wheel lines, ect.
Opinions on custom bodywork plans

I want to get my car repainted next year sometime. It will stay black but I want to modify the body a little. I'd like the front bumper, sides, and rear to sit lower.
My car currently has the LSi package on it and I want to keep those pieces and possibly mold them into the body. Here's my car right now.

Option 1: cut the front bumper at the body line and have it extended down an inch or two. Then the body line will be filled and the lip will be molded on.
Option 2: space the front lip off the bumper by another inch or two and fill the gap between the bumper and lip. Fill the body line in the front bumper and mold the lip on.

I want to lower the sides to match and mold the LSi side pieces into the skirt. The mudflaps will be removed. How would a good body shop go about making the sides sit lower? Would they have to make custom side skirts or can they just mold/bondo the body lower?

The rear bumper will be extended and filled like this. The side marker will sit an inch or two lower to match the front one.
What do you guys think? :shrug:
Anyone with photoshop talent want to work something up? It shouldn't be too hard.

Basically this is what I want to do. Don't mind the crappy paint skills. It's a rough chop.

Yeah, that rear bumper looks really good in my opinion too. Do it.

Hey buddy!
We did contact them and it sounded like they just made it by hand from a stock bumper.
To bad they cant make me a mold of the bottom half.

I'm fine thanks.
The car is still under some work, but I'm getting there. Slowly but slowly. I'm working on a comeback for 2009.Mici
